The Philo Franklin Literary Society of Allegheny College was 
organized in June, A. D. 1834. Since that time her course has been 
steadily *' onward and upward," refining and moulding for practical useful- 
ness, all who, from time to time, have come under her influence. By 
exemplifying the spirit of the motto, ^^Non quia difficilia^ non audemtis" she 
has continued to advance, until she now ranks among the most prospei'ous 
and best regulated organizations of the kind in the land. Her successful 
past betokens a future of usefulness and eflBciency. 

During the last year, Philo Hall has been remodeled and fitted up in a 
rich and ornamental style, and additions have been made to her Library, 
which now contains nearly nine hundred volumes on the various branches of 
Literature and Science. 

In the following pages will be found errors in residences, and some other 
particulars, growing out of a deficiency of proper data.

The second Quadrennial Meeting of "Old Philos" was held in their Hall, 
June 30th, 1856. A large number of members were present, representing 
almost every period of the Society's history. The President of the Society, 
Mr. J. K. Hogue, after warmly welcoming our "Elder Brethren " to a seat 
in our midst, resigned to them the chair, which was filled by Rev. J. Uncles, 
of the class of 1838. Mr. Uncles, on taking his seat, addressed the meeting 
in a manner highly interesting, and worthy of the occasion. Rev. Cyrus 
Nutt, D. D. of the class of 1836, who was expected to deliver an address, 
being absent, the time was occupied with reminiscences of " Old Philos.'^ 
While they, with generous enthusiasm, recounted the scenes by which they 
were surrounded when active members, Philo Society lived her life again. 
The meeting was one which brethren who love, alone enjoy. The next 
meeting will be held on Friday, June 22d, 1860. Let all who have in other 
years participated in the scenes of our Society, come up and meet with us. 
Come up Brethren. Surround the board of our beloved " Alma Mater,'' and 
let us enjoy her smiles together. It will be an oasis in your life, which 
** Olim meminisse juvahit.''
